My guess is that an anticholinergic on its own would decrease tremor by bringing acetycholine into balance with dopamine levels, but with levodopa is more difficult to balance. Why we are not all on one - there are lots of potential side-effects, especially cognitive and mental, maybe doctors are wary of prescribing them, or even not encouraged to as they are older drugs.....
